Right, because no company in history has ever spent any R&D on a product that didn't actually ship.

Corvette C7 is the LAST front-engine Corvette EVER.
With the Corvette C8 moving upmarket to mid-engine exotic territory and price, the front-engine RWD Camaro will be just fine through the 7th gen. After 7th gen - this: |

Other than that, they have a long way to go to match the overall experience of even a Camaro LS/LT. |

Planning ahead is the way it goes in the auto sector.
We are planned up to 2025 for Honda.

I slalommed the beast on GM's Black Lake at Milford Proving Grounds. No pylons were killed. Having a humongous battery under the floor gives it a very low center of gravity. Having no engine in the "frunk" makes it easy to get a 50/50 weight balance. It feels different than doing slalom in a Vette or Camaro, but good times are easier to achieve. Also got to play with it on the road in the real world for a while. It is a VERY capable car. Here it is in the driveway with my wife's Volt. They had to share the power plug for a few days.

There is a lot of speculation going on now about the future of the Corvette. Some believe the mid engine car will be priced around where the Vette is now.

That makes sense, you know.. Since wages are down and unemployment is up. SO increase the price! It's just science.

That sounds like crap. I've heard better engine sounds replicated in 99 cent racing games for mobile phones.
I don't think they know how engines work. The fake engine noise gets higher in RPMs during whats supposed to be an upshift. What?

Today, electric cars are freaky fast, loaded with luxury content, look pretty darn good, and can travel about 300 miles on a charge on the very rare times people actually want to do that (about 6 times a year for me). And they continue to improve on all aspects through competitive development. Electrification on some level is a very real consideration for future generations of Camaro, whether it is an electric motor to add power to a downsized ICE (Porsche Panamera S e-Hybrid, next gen Nissan GT-R) or a full-blown all-electric option calibrated for performance (Tesla P100D, FF 991 or Lucid Air)
